The major focus of this course is to expose students to the diverse fields of biotechnology including biomedical engineering, molecular genetics, bioprocess engineering, and agricultural and environmental engineering. Lessons engage students in engineering design problems related to biomechanics, cardiovascular engineering, genetic engineering, agricultural biotechnology, tissue engineering, biomedical devices, forensics and bioethics. Students in this course apply biological and engineering concepts to design materials and processes that directly measure, repair, improve and extend living systems. The BE course is designed for 11th or 12th grade students.
This will be an option for the third year in the Riley Engineering Magnet.
Student Projects
One of the projects is a model of DNA. This is one of the completed student projects.
